Education law

Enforce individual education planning

Our children's right to education should always be at the forefront of all decisions around schooling, because access to education is the foundation for the rest of life.

School law, as the name suggests, regulates the rights and obligations of various parties involved in school operations. These are primarily the students and their parents, but also the school authorities and school supervision.

Classical" school law concerns public, i.e. state-run schools, and thus falls within the legal area of special administrative law as a branch of public law. The legal relationships between the parties involved are regulated by laws and ordinances. School law is state law, so that the legal basis varies from state to state.

Especially in rural areas, the school landscape has changed in the meantime. More and more often, the state is placing the task of education in private hands. School operators are then no longer public authorities, but associations or educational companies organized under private law - so-called independent school operators. The legal relationship between the individual players is usually based on a contract. Depending on the school authority, church school law may also come into play.
